RE: Debian Problem after Compiling Kernel

[Paul Rightley <pright@lanl.gov>]

I am no expert, but...

Are you sure that you compile the correct driver for your
networking card into the new kernel?  I get errors like
this after I have recompiled the kernel with the wrong
ethernet card driver.  If you think you did this correctly,
did you compile the driver as a module?  Are you sure that
it is loaded early enough in the boot process?  (I usually 
compile networking into the kernel - since memory is cheap.)

HTH,

Paul
